Arrowheadlines: Patrick Mahomes will play the first quarter in preseason opener

1. Reid kicked things off by explaining how long he planned on playing the starters during Saturday’s game.

“I do it by quarterbacks, so Patrick [Mahomes] has the first quarter and then Chad [Henne] has the second quarter, [Kyle] Shurmur the third quarter and Chase [Litton] the fourth quarter,” Reid said. “Then the guys fall in. Everybody will play in the game. The main thing is that we get some of the young guys some playing time. You normally cut down the game plan a little bit for this. Just take some of the simpler plays - the easier plays that you’ve run during camp - and let them go out and play.
